I can't tell you where I read that, but it's so out there that it stuck with me! Ha!E @ Oh!

But I think dinner and dancing is fine - if you're having dinner and dancing, it's presumed drinks will be involved most of the time. <BR/><BR/>I see no need to include mention of "drinks" on the invitation.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010855220044881380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900358172999203944.post-53548089830440190402009-03-31T20:35:00.000-07:002009-03-31T20:35:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010855220044881380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900358172999203944.post-58472507629582097992009-03-31T18:10:00.000-07:002009-03-31T18:10:00.000-07:005 PM is definitely when "evening" begins.LOVE the ...5 PM is definitely when "evening" begins.<BR/><BR/>LOVE the drinks, dinner and dancing line.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009716261833425232noreply@blogger.com
